WRITING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE
MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 22, 2001

Present: Patricia Clark, Patrick Bizzaro, 
Laura McArthur, George Bissinger

First Order of Business
Due to the lack of a quorum, members were 
unable to vote on issues, but did move to 
discuss several items.

Due to the fact that we did not have quorum, 
the members present suggested that THEA 3075 
be circulated via e-mail for consideration 
as WI.

Second Order of Business
Patch offered to follow up with Steve Estes 
regarding EXSS 4502.  This proposal was 
tabled at a previous meeting due to lack of 
specific information.  Patch called Steve 
Estes and he is working on the proposal but 
did not have it ready for the February 
meeting.

Third Order of Business
Members present discussed the request of 
SPAN 2440 to reverse WI designation for some 
sections.  Members discussed what the 
procedure for this action should be. 

The suggestions was made that the department 
chair is responsible for designation of WI 
sections each semester which, in turn, 
alerts the Registrar of this information.

Members also discussed the possibility of 
WI by "Contract" based on the "Honors by 
Contract" model for courses.  One questions 
posed was, how could a student take WI if WI 
was not designated on the grade sheet? (for 
WI by contract course)
